World Club Challenge tickets prove
popular

The match between the reigning Super League Champions and the current Premiers of Australia?s NRL is being staged at Elland Road Stadium and is set to be the best attended fixture of its type since the event was re-introduced in 2000.

The current ticket figures also represent the best ever advance sales four weeks prior to the match ? which will be televised live in the Southern Hemisphere.

Commenting on the news, the Rugby Football League?s Director of Development and Marketing Gary Tasker said: ?There has been a tremendous level of interest in the Carnegie World Club Challenge, since the tickets were put on sale prior to Christmas.

?This demand has continued into the New Year period and so we now expect to attract a massive crowd to Elland Road Stadium for what should be a tremendous contest between the best two clubs in world Rugby League.

?All Rhinos supporters who have not yet secured their seats are advised to book them as soon as possible to avoid missing out. The match also presents a great opportunity for non-sports fans to attend a hugely exciting event which their places their city in the global spotlight."
